Exodus 2:14 in Context — Exodus 2

12 Il regarda de côté et d’autre, et, voyant qu’il n’y avait personne, il tua l’Égyptien, et le cacha dans le sable.

13 Il sortit le jour suivant; et voici, deux Hébreux se querellaient. Il dit à celui qui avait tort: Pourquoi frappes-tu ton prochain?

14 Et cet homme répondit: Qui t’a établi chef et juge sur nous? Penses-tu me tuer, comme tu as tué l’Égyptien? Moïse eut peur, et dit: Certainement la chose est connue.

15 Pharaon apprit ce qui s’était passé, et il cherchait à faire mourir Moïse. Mais Moïse s’enfuit de devant Pharaon, et il se retira dans le pays de Madian, où il s’arrêta près d’un puits.

16 Le sacrificateur de Madian avait sept filles. Elles vinrent puiser de l’eau, et elles remplirent les auges pour abreuver le troupeau de leur père.
